There was a pretty interesting feature in last months Texas Monthly regarding Slick Rick and his advocacy for psychedelics as a treatment.
I don't have any form of ptsd or any out of the ordinary trauma, but just the introspection that occurs is enough to clear the board mentally, in my limited experience. -
The prose of that post, with how it's put together along with the descriptors...I highly doubt this occurred. This seems like obvious whoring for attention. Not unlike the 'look at the good deed I'm doing' videos that I see on LinkedIn

My brain automatically started singing as I was reading that. Good to see I wasn't the only oneWhat are your thoughts on Bobo and Blair? -
Saw a YouTube video on the dude who got trapped in nutty putty. That has got to be about the worst way to go. I put it up there with the people who get crushed between train cars but remain alive until the cars are pulled apart.if it’ll take a day to get that video posted above out of your head then nutty putty would haunt your dreams every day for the rest of your life.

The Big Country is how I've described that area. Most of that area is in the upper brazos basin. I tend to think of Texas Hill country as being the in the Colorado and Guadalupe basins west of 35."West-central" is an interesting label for that part of Texas but I guess I've never thought about what I'd call that part of Texas. Northwest seems slightly more accurate. Or maybe southeast West Texas. -
The large joro looks identical to what I grew up calling a garden spider. I loved feeding those things grasshoppers as a kid.

Question for folks that may know: I was reading up on descriptions of the thermobaric weapons, and I understood them to be similar to BLEVE explosions. Is that an accurate association?

CNN just ran a story saying it was destroyed, though not sure if they were confirming or just reporting the rumorI hope this is false.

Call an ambulance if you're concerned about the roads. I wouldn't fuck around and give that thing a chance to rupture.

On mine, the peg board is on hidden track assembly that's integral/riveted to the main body. There are a couple of angle brackets that you install on the bench when it's raised to secure in place. Not sure if they sell this assembly separately. I installed a couple of Rubbermaid FastTrack shelves above the peg board (high enough not to bump my head) and store my lumber on that. I'd take a picture, but my garage is embarrassingly messy at the moment

I was thinking about doing something like that, but I ended up building a tall workbench on 4in casters and mounted my vice and bench grinder. The table height on the Milwaukee bench sucks for me when I'm doing stand up work. I mainly use it when tinkering with parts and various small mechanical breakdowns (sitting).
-
I bought the same bench a couple of summers ago. Big fan of it.

Follow up point for those interested: three year olds+ like the songs from Bobs Burgers. Bad Stuff Happens in the Bathroom and Electric Love are the favorites of my kiddos

It's been a while since I've read through this thread and I know it's already been mentioned a few times, but +1 for Bluey. Not only is it bearable to watch, I dare say it's enjoyable. The one where Bandit takes Bluey and Bingo to the pool by himself is as accurate of real life as just about anything I've seen

I was expecting to see a DT thread on this, but did not anticipate most of the comments being of the negative nancy variety. I watched the livestream and thought it was pretty cool for a first attempt with a new model launch vehicle.

Put some music on if she was into that at all.
Damnit, I wish that would have occurred to me when my mom passed. That's a great idea; likely just as much benefit to everyone around-

Tickets for the USS Lexington look to be a little less than half that. I remember going to both when I was 12 or so (couple decades ago); I enjoyed both. The Lexington is probably the better value, but I'd probably pay 40 for the aquarium if my kids wanted to go

Did a video log on a well bore through the Edwards and into the middle Trinity last year. I was amazed at the size/scale of solution cavities in the Edwards. Was generally aware of them from reading studies/ reports, but seeing it in-situ was pretty neat. Just happy a spider or salamander didn't stick his head out and smile for the camera.Considering every high rise there is on piles driven into competent limestone, I suspect a lot of inspection reports are being reread. I’m civil, not structural, but the likeliest scenario appears to be foundation failure due to either loss of limestone integrity from saltwater intrusion or corrosion of piles. Either way it doesn’t happen overnight, but limestone can collapse creating those weird looking sink holes that are perfectly circular.
Hell we get solution cavities in our limestone in the recharge zone in the Glen Rose so adding salt would accelerate that prices tremendously.-

Mexico City is sinking due to subsidence, and at a relatively large and constant scale. The building collapse was likely differential settlement, uneven settlement along its foundationMexico City is sinking at rates far beyond an inch a decade. I guess it depends on the areal extent of the sink rate. Perhaps a 2” sink directly under a support column is enough for something catastrophic.
Like most catastrophic disasters this will follow the Swiss cheese model of errors. A multitude of minor issues all lined up for something tragic
